Hello fellow Kentucky Skiers I want to invite you to participate in the 2019 Kentucky State Championships. This year, the Patriot Lake Crew will host the tournament for the first time and we plan to add a few things that should make the tournament a lot of fun. Patriot Lake in Scottsville, KY is a record capable site that has a park like setting and is very close to restaurants and stores.

The tournament will be FREE. Yes, you heard it correctly. There is no entry fee. Please register online though as early as possible so we can make plans. We want to do this, first to encourage participation from people who usually don't participate and second to raise a little money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Type 1 Diabetes has significantly impacted our skiers. We want to put an end to this disease.

Bring another skier....we ask that every skier bring someone with them to ski who does not normally come to tournaments. We all have skiers in our area who have not ever been in a tournament or those who have not skied in a tournament in a while. A free tournament to benefit a good cause should be good persuasion to come. Don't wait to invite someone until this summer. Call and tell them they are coming, today. We would even invite those who are novices at any level to participate in a practice clinic on Friday evening or Saturday evening. They can join USA Waterski for a One Day $7 fee and pay $20 practice fee and try it out.(May not jump). Remember those who participate in the State Championships will have to join USA Waterski and the Kentucky Waterski Federation.

CALL ME AND TELL ME WHO YOU WILL BE BRINGING!

On Site Camping is Permitted and Encouraged. Primitive camping is available and everyone should consider the fellowship and fun that comes with this. Also please bring your dogs. They will like it just as much as you will. We will have floats and paddle boats for swimming,etc.

There will be a fun banquet Saturday night which has not been planned at this point. All skiers and friends are encouraged to attend. The Kentucky Waterski Federation business meeting and awards will be held during the banquet.

World Class Skiing Conditions..........we guarantee everything will be perfect, weather permitting. If you have any questions or ideas please contact Eric Kelley 270-991-3139 drerickelley@twc.com
